Gwynedd's Leadership Program At Gwynedd, we realize that we live in a challenging and complex world, one that needs confident, prudent leaders. This is just one of many purposes of the leadership program. One of the many goals of the leadership program is to provide each student with leadership training and experiences and confidence building that helps form a better future.
As we start our second year, we have been able to host more in-school internships: Athletics Counseling Culinary Leadership Marketing and Communications Performing Arts Philanthropy She is the Future Strategic Initiatives Technology
In addition to these on campus internship opportunities, we are pleased to announce that this summer we will offer off-campus internships as well. This off-campus course will show students the day-to-day operations of a specific area of study to help students develop awareness of a specific career path.
The goal for the interns is to identify and pursue an area of interest by experiencing a study beyond what is learned in the classroom. The program will encourage students to extend beyond the traditional classroom boundaries. Students will be challenged to be entrepreneurial and forward-thinkers. Through hands-on, real-world experiences, leadership training, a foundation rooted in the charism of mercy, and the intellect and education of a Gwynedd Girl, there's no question that unstoppable women start right here. Gwynedd educates, inspires, and empowers generations of women leaders.
